iTunes 9 Brings Apple TV Problems [Updated]
I held off installing iTunes 9 since I figured it would bring problems. There were major changes to the UI, but even more of a potential problem is the switch (or at least greater use of) from Cocoa to Webkit which has been reported by some people.

Apple Marketing Gets Me Again

I couldn’t help but notice similarities to Microsoft Windows. While WordPress may not have the same market share as Windows it does have greater mindshare than any other single publishing platform. (OK, I don’t have the stats to back that up so maybe I’m wrong.) There’s even a major hosting company that specifically promotes WordPress standalone hosting. So like Windows, which comes pre-installed [...] Read the rest »
